2011-12 has been a particularly good year for hockey cards, with solid releases like Limited and Score, and Upper Deck has some nice early sets with Series 1 and Artifacts. Crown Royale looks like it will slip right in and be a high quality set hockey fans should enjoy. The silhouette cards make a return, and with how hot Ryan Nugent-Hopkins RC's have been selling, I'm sure his version will fetch quite a sum early on. There are plenty of other rookies & even the veterans have game-used silhouette versions. You'll also find some rookie royalty autographs - which highlight some of the newest NHL guys.
